WHY THE LUMBERMEN?
With remarkable regularity the. United States uov-
ernment brings criminal action ;ifnitisi mmiH'niieu m. mv
northwest allosins they are bound to-ether m a trust
contrary to the Hhern.au anti-trust law. Jt looks very
much like sonie verimient officials had it ni for the lum
hennen. Ea-li time the prosecution is biyjiitflit the pro
gram of lawvtTS, court costs, etc., follows and either the
covermneut withdraws the charges or is beaten, lias has
Jicen going on for the past ten years, and only recently
iliid attack was renewed on the Douglass Fir iimnufactur
fcrs of the Pacific coast. .
H the'govenuneut could only know, as wc peojile
know who live in the northwest, how badly crippled fi
nancially and how nearly broke all lumber niamifafturer.s
are pifhablv there would at least be a sympathetic fea-
lnro to the urostriit ion. Lumbermen nave Had tne nani-
ust gamblers game the last ten years of probably any
.: other prodinjt or iM.iiunotlity.
;V It sound? fine to tell how the stunipage only oosts a
! dollar a thousand and the finished product-isld for
thirly dollars si thousand oranore, but he who link never
' been c'vercd with sawdust or bucked the slab pile has
no eonceptioii of the turbulent road with its bumps, brars
anl bruisi-s in-tween that one dollar and thirty dollars; he
eaniKit know hwjnuch labor it takes, liow much donkey
engin:- ivpiimi. hw much cable along with patience, per
I severaiK-e and hank credit to bring that dollar a thousand
log into IuhiIm-i- suitable for present day civilizati'.ii to
erect buildings. , '

road company alrtfady has its track properly maintained

Louis Hill, of the J bill railroads, recently told the
Portland people thai, the eyes of the country were on the
. northwest and great development could he expected here
provided t he railroads were supported by public sent hnenr
and national legislation.
The trouble, Louis, has been that the railroads when
so supported' surrounded the table immediately and left
no place for any other guests. The bright minds employed
by transportation companies take charge ijl1 the whole
show when the bars are let, drop the least bit.
Mr. Hill should know the norlliwiest, with all its re
markable resources, cannot prosper unless there is a re
adjustment of freight rates; he should and is practical
enough to know that products of the suit cannot stand

An r American evangelist was en
gaged by a church for a week's special
mission. On his arrival ho went to
sec the minister. .
"What sort of a t-hurch have you
here?" he inquired.
"Well," replied the pastor, "I nm
afraid things aie pretty bad. The peo
ple are worldly and careless, the con
gregations are small, there is no in
terest in missions, no one comes t a
prayer meeting, dances ami enrd
parties go on all through the week,
and the people are indifferent to the
claims of religion."
""Well," sneered the evangelist, "ii
I had a church with memliers like
that, I'd go out and hire a yellow dog
to bite 'em."
"Yes," said the minister, "that's
what we have done."
